Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lb. ground pork (can substitute with ground chicken, ground beef, or ground turkey)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 8 oz water chestnuts, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
- 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- ½ cup grated or matchstick carrots
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Toppings & Sauce
- Black sesame seeds
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 Tablespoons sriracha
Instructions
- Cook the Onions: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the diced onion. Sauté until translucent and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Brown the Meat: Add the ground pork (or your choice of ground meat) to the skillet. Cook thoroughly, stirring frequently, until browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped water chestnuts. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, enhancing the flavors.
- Add Sauces: Pour in the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Mix well to evenly coat the meat and vegetables with the flavorful sauce.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the coleslaw mix and shredded carrots. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts and the veggies are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Prepare Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons sriracha, adjusting heat preference. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Top the dish with thinly sliced green onions and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Drizzle with the prepared sriracha mayo before serving for a spicy, creamy finish.
